05.01 - Conclusions (models and drafting)

We started today's class by wrapping up the evaluation of some sample conclusions via the polar opposites activity (see below).

Next, I provided everyone with a model conclusion which was intended to serve as a template for other conclusions. While not necessarily perfect, this conclusion can help people to understand what an effective conclusion can look like (see handouts). We evaluated and critiqued this conclusion with the polar opposites format as well.

For homework, everyone should draft a conclusion for their future exploration paper.
